Is anyone else psyched about the new Metroid games coming out?
All I got right now is a GBA, so Metroid Fusion is on my X-Mas list. And today I cannot wait to get the damn thing. I just downloaded the rom for it. Unfortuantely the file was messed up and the sound is not right, but toher than that it plays fine. I was freaking out at how DAMN cool it was. It is AMAZING! The story is &*$#ing unbeliveable and just a great next chapter. I won't say anything, but there are some damn nice ideas and twists. Plus they factor into the gameply which is simply fantastic and more fluid than any Metroid I've played. (Still haven't played the Gameboy or finished the NES one myself.) There was one point where the story takes a interesting twist you may have heard about. I was just giddy. I stopped playing soon after that and am thinking of jsut waiting to get the actual game to continute. This is jsut at the top of my list this year.
As for Mteroid Prime for the Gamecube, it also sounds fantastic. It takes place like before the NES one. Plus if you're worried about it being a FPS, don't. From the reviews and video I've seen, it doesn't change the great gameplay. I think it was nessisary to move to 3d. Sure, maybe a 3rd prson view might have been good, but they ahve optimized 1st person for the Metroid world. Plus you do switch to third in ball mode.
